Abstract

With the development of railways, the scope of protection for railway operators' security zones has expanded significantly, posing greater challenges to traditional manual inspection methods in terms of coverage, efficiency, and risk management. To address this challenge, an unmanned aerial vehicle-based monitoring and surveillance platform for railway security zones has been developed. This article discusses on the development of railway protection zone supervision and monitoring system based on how to use unmanned aerial vehicle and 3D Geographic Information System(GIS). It also talks about how to design and implement unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Inspection Management based on UAV Risk Identification Strategies. Finally, it introduces 6 modules of this platform and their functions. The platform features six core functions, task assignment, hazard information submission, hazard report confirmation, personnel evaluation, and analysis. Practical application demonstrates the value and effectiveness of the platform. By leveraging drones as the foundation, it establishes a human-machine collaborative platform to enhance oversight of railways.
